Uchiha's personal opinion

The dark force captain felt his eyelids twitching violently.

"As everyone knows, the Fire Release techniques of our Uchiha clan are the strongest in the ninja world. Naturally, the remains we burn are much purer than those burned with ordinary firewood. So don't be fooled by the small quantity; they are absolutely all the original owner's belongings, without any impurities..."

"By the way, you didn't actually think you could leave behind a complete corpse, did you? No way, no way?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu appeared surprised, but the corner of his mouth was still twitching.

I almost couldn't help but laugh.

The Uchiha Jonin inside the tent all had their heads bowed, their shoulders shaking violently.

Holding back laughter is a really difficult thing.

Uchiha Tokumitsu rolled his eyes at these Uchiha guys who had such low standards for humor.

"They are powerful Sand Village warriors who dared to stay behind to carry out sabotage missions when the main force withdrew and their numbers were far behind. Do you really think they wouldn't leave some contingency plans on their own bodies to destroy their corpses?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the three Anbu members, his smile no longer concealed. "Even you Anbu members... you should have some kind of restriction or sealing technique on yourselves, right?"

"Yes... thank you for your guidance, Commander Deguang."

Although he may have been very unhappy inside, and may have imagined countless times the scene of stuffing Uchiha Tokumitsu into the jar, the ANBU captain still maintained his etiquette, continuing to use polite language while instructing his subordinates to put the jar away.

Even if the goods don't match the description, you still need to take back a somewhat related item to complete the transaction.

"Is there anything else?" Uchiha Tokumitsu was in a great mood and asked in a very friendly manner, "Just tell me what's on your mind. I won't make things too difficult for you anyway."

"Won't be too difficult?" This means it will still be difficult!

The commander of the Dark Division sighed inwardly.

"There's another document that needs to be given to Lord Sakumo..." The ANBU captain didn't mince words and said directly, "It's a document signed by the Hokage. Could you please ask Commander Tokumitsu to find Lord Sakumo?"

"That would be acceptable."

Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand, ordering one of his Uchiha Jonin to go find Hatake Sakumo.

After Hatake Sakumo arrived, he took out a document and handed it over, then took the initiative to resign and leave.

"Mobilize the northern border of the Land of Rivers and launch a preemptive attack to harass the Rain Ninja."

After the ANBU left, Hatake Sakumo quickly read through the contents of the document and spoke to Uchiha Tokumitsu, then handed the letter to him.

Where is Hanzo?

Uchiha Tokumitsu took the letter and casually asked a question.

"They are still fighting against the ninja army led by Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure."

Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, then said, "Aside from Hanzo, there shouldn't be any other powerful figures in Amegakure that require special attention."

"In that case, let's proceed as ordered." Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind.

As long as they don't directly confront Hanzo of the Salamander, who is hailed as a "demigod," the other Rain Ninja are nothing to fear in the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo.

Even if they were to face Hanzo, the two were confident that they could contend with him.

"Shall we leave tomorrow?"

Sakumo Hatake sought his opinion.

“Okay.” Uchiha Tokumitsu had no objection.

He then arranged for his mobile units to prepare for their departure.

……

The Land of Rain, on its southern border.

After arriving at the northern border of the Land of Rivers, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo found a secluded stone forest to set up a camp, and then immediately led the mobile unit's combat jonin into the Land of Rain.

The rear garrison camp was left with only guards and some auxiliary ninjas.

"I really hate this sticky, damp environment!"

Since entering the Land of Rain, Uchiha Tokumitsu and his Uchiha Jonin have had many complaints.

Although the southern region of the Land of Rain does not experience the same year-round rainfall as its central region, it is extremely humid and hot, making the Uchiha, who are skilled in Fire Release techniques, feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Although the southern part of the Land of Rain experiences a lot of rain, it's still much better in the central part where Amegakure is located," Sakumo Hatake replied with a smile. "I once visited Amegakure, and it's true that it rains all year round, making it even more uncomfortable than the south."

Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at the sensory ninja and Byakugan ninja who were scouting, and feeling a bit bored, he continued to chat idly to pass the time.

"Then why is Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village) located in the central region where there is so much rainfall?"

"It's said to be to avoid attacks from major powers..." Sakumo Hatake sighed, "Although we are not on good terms with Amegakure, to be honest, the civilians of the Land of Rain are probably the most miserable among all the small countries."

"In a system where the five great nations maintain a balance of power and peace, it is naturally the smaller nations that suffer," Uchiha Tokumitsu said calmly. "Lord Hashirama's ideals may be lofty, but reality is always disappointing."

Sakumo Hatake sighed.

Since partnering with Uchiha Tokumitsu, he has been influenced to some extent by Uchiha Tokumitsu's unrestrained words and unorthodox ideas in the ninja world. As a result, he has started to think more and is no longer a simple believer in the Will of Fire.

However, in his heart, he still longed for a lasting peace that might be a distant dream.

"Enemy tracks detected five kilometers ahead!"

"They're Rain Ninja! Seventy-seven in total!"

The sensory ninja and the Byakugan ninja simultaneously reported their search results.

"Let's go, Sakumo-kun." Uchiha Tokumitsu twisted his neck, too lazy to even draw his usual tachi.

"Let's just consider this a warm-up."

"Although I don't know if I can win, I actually really hope to fight Hanzo, the demigod." Hatake Sakumo looked back at the eager Jonin behind him and felt equally bored.

"You guys go first." Uchiha Tokumitsu casually waved his hand, signaling his combat officers to go into battle first.

For this harassment operation, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo led a total of twenty-one operational Jonin and six support ninja. Even without the two of them taking action, the operational Jonin of the mobile unit could easily annihilate this mere seventy-odd Rain Ninja force.

Twenty-one figures shot off like arrows, eagerly heading towards the direction of the Rain Ninja.

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo traveled leisurely through the rainforest.

By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over.

The Jonin's movements were exceptionally swift and decisive.

"Actually, I still don't understand how Hanzo was able to withstand the repeated attacks from the three great nations?" Looking at the six Rain Ninja prisoners who had been deliberately left behind, Uchiha Tokumitsu was somewhat puzzled. "The Rain Ninja's quality... is only slightly better than the Grass Ninja. How could they withstand it?"

"Pooh!"

Even though he was completely bound, a Rain Ninja with an arrogant expression still spat at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Uchiha Tokumitsu easily dodged the attack, somewhat surprised.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Under Lord Hanzo, there are no ninjas who fear death!"

Yu Ren's tone was unusually firm.

"I was thinking of telling you that if you told me the information, I'd spare your life..." Uchiha Tokumitsu scratched his chin. "Since you're such a tough guy, then I won't humiliate you..."

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu let the Rain Ninja make a choice.

"Either is fine, just be quick and efficient."

"What's your name?" Uchiha Tokumitsu admired the Rain Ninja's fearless spirit. "You are a person of strong will, worthy of my respect."

"Sawajiro".

Rain Ninja closed her eyes, awaiting death.

"And you? Would you like to live a little longer and continue our conversation?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the other five Rain Ninja.

The five Rain Ninjas remained silent and closed their eyes.

They expressed their choice through silence.

"To face death without fear..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was somewhat moved.

"I respect your choice."

He pulled out a flying needle and stabbed it directly into the brain of the Rain Ninja through his ear.

After his body stiffened for a moment, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The other five Rain Ninja remained unmoved, all closing their eyes and waiting.

"Really..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu had experienced many battles, but this was the first time he had encountered such a fearless enemy.

"Fine..." Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand, "I'll let you go!"

Looking at Sakumo Hatake, he also nodded slightly.

The mobile unit's combat ninja used kunai to cut the ropes binding the Rain Ninja.

The five Rain Ninjas stood up, somewhat bewildered.

But under the watchful eyes of the twenty-one Jonin, they dared not make the slightest move.

"Let's go..."

Sakumo Hatake waved to them.

The Rain Ninjas exchanged glances and slowly retreated.

Only after leaving the mobile force by several dozen meters did they use the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

Hatake Sakumo picked up a kunai from the ground, played with it for a moment, and then handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

After briefly weighing the kunai, Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned.

He casually pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and without infusing it with chakra to harden it, he slashed directly at the Rain Ninja's kunai.

"Clang!"

The kunai of the Rain Ninja broke instantly, while the kunai of Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't even have a notch.
